Answer the following question in your own words without using any resources. Your answer should be written in complete sentences using correct grammar, spelling, and terminology.
Question 30 of 32
4.0/ 4.0 Points
You used a simulated frog heart in this exercise. How does the frog heart differ from the human heart?
A frog heart only has three chambers while a human heart has four. A frog heart contains only one ventricle. In addition, frogs have only one vessel leading into their hearts while humans have the Superior Vena Cava and the Inferior Vena Cava. Frogs also do not have pulmonary arteries however they have two arteries leading away from the heart while humans have only the Aorta.
Feedback:Learning Objective: Compare and contrast the anatomical differences between the frog and human heart.
Please review Lab Exercise 6, Activity 1. Question 31 of 32
0.0/ 4.0 Points
Briefly explain why wave summation and tetany would be deadly in cardiac muscle.
Wave summation and tetany create an inconsistency with the cardiac muscle group. Therefore as cardiac muscle s rely on consistency for survival either wave summation or tetany would be deadly to cardiac muscle.
Feedback:Learning Objective: Explain why the absence of wave summation and tetanus is important to cardiac muscle function.
Please review Lab Exercise 6, Activity 1.
Comment:The heart would remain fully contracted and not be able to refill with blood; therefore, becoming ineffective as a pump. [Show Less]
